Just wanted say hi as I am a new member and brand new pit bull owner. I've had the little guy for almost 3 weeks now and was 5 months when I acquired him. His previous owners could not take care of him, and unfortunately left him outside for the majority of the time. He's come to me looking VERY skinny, as you can easily see all his ribs. He also had hookworm, which has been treated.

He's coming along very well, however he still seems a little sick. His appetite varies, and his bowels have been loose. He now is vomitting, as well, but the vet is having a hard time figuring out what the problem is. Blood work and numerous fecals have been done. He seems to act normal as far as I can tell, however, he is VERY calm and I dont know if this is due to a combo of a new home and simply his personality, or because he is still sick. Other then that he is coming along well and if the vomitting continues I am scheduling an appointment with a different vet. I look forward to posting in the future....

Jeff
